Escape

Book 2 of the Wizards of Seattle

Jason is starting to become accustomed to his new role as
psychometrist for the Seattle PD when he is assigned a disturbing new case
involving dark magic. He soon discovers that this is more than just a simple
case of murder. It involves the Ancients as well as the original White Knights
of legend.

The White Knight Council has serious problems of their own and
limited resources so they can only spare two of their own to assist the Seattle
PD in handling this new threat, an immortal dark wizard who’s gifted with
incredibly powerful black magic that the modern world has never seen. Jason and
his colleagues must find and defeat the dark wizard before he becomes
unstoppable.

Jason wonders if his luck has finally turned around when he
discovers he will inherit a luxurious home infused with ancient magic and a
sizable fortune from a relative he’d never known existed. Of course, there’s a
catch. His younger brother and his cousin will inherit equal parts of the
inheritance and it is stipulated in the will that they must live together first
before they gain possession of the estate.

All three of them are potential
White Knights with the rare ability to practice advanced white magic. They must
learn to use their new power and defend themselves from a secret organization
that is armed with potent, black magic.

Invasion

Book 6 of the Grumpy Old Wizards series

When Josephine joined the Earth Coalition and became part of
the legendary White Knights, she thought she could leave the dangers of the
world behind and raise her child within the peaceful sanctuary of Briodanis, an
Ancient city protected by the most powerful magic the world has ever known. She
couldn’t have been more wrong.

The White Knights have returned, but their power
is greatly diminished, and their lives are in mortal peril.

As Josephine scrambles to understand her new abilities, she
learns that a hostile AI from a distant world has discovered a way to travel to
Earth. With a technologically advanced ship, the ruler of a vast and powerful
army of androids will soon reach Earth, and the White Knights are the only ones
capable of stopping the impending invasion.

Book 3 of the Grumpy Old Wizards Series

Josephine uncovers an important secret about the Valituras,
a power-hungry organization that has lived in secret for centuries. They have
amassed powerful dark magic and infiltrated all levels of the government. Now
that their existence is publicly exposed and Josephine’s discovery leads to the
capture of more Valituras agents, they decide to make a big move and declare
war against the country. Josephine scrambles to protect herself and her loved
ones from this powerful foe.

As she uncovers more clues in her search to expose the
hidden identities of the Valituras leaders, her boyfriend grapples with his new
talent of white magic which proves to be a potent yet unreliable source of
power. Even as Mark’s abilities expand, he struggles to avoid burnout which
will lead to a coma and reversion back to mainstream magic. When the U.S.
government’s MADA department hires him to attempt restoration of an ancient
historical site, American Stone Henge, the Valituras target him for
termination.

As Josephine’s psychometry brings her closer to the truth
about the Valituras, she fears the answers will come too late.

The entire Grumpy Old Wizards series is available in Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and Paperback formats.

As a category six wizard in her eighties, Josephine O’Connor
has always enjoyed a youthful body due to extremely slow aging but when she
discovers she’s become immortal, she must return to the workforce. Soon after
starting her investigative work for the police, Josephine discovers a secret
organization called the Valituras that has amassed ancient magic and power with
single-minded determination.

Her new assignment of defeating this agency may
prove to be an impossible feat as their members have infiltrated all levels of
the government including law enforcement and their advanced wizardry rivals her
own. Josephine realizes she may be in over her
head when the Valituras end up casting an immortality curse on her best friend,
Helen, by mistake. To further complicate matters, her grandson’s eighteen-year-old
friend starts hitting on her. Fortunately, Helen isn’t too broken up by the
curse. Who wouldn’t want to live forever in a young, perfect body? Of course,
everyone knows that dark magic always comes at a cost.

Fifty years after the Disaster, the world is vastly
different from days of old. Wizardry is the norm and magical talent is
categorized. Josephine O'Connor, a seventy-year-old with a penchant for
off-beat antics, is a category six, which means she possesses magical powers as
rare as they are unsettling and a talent for psychometry that is so strong and
acute that she can read the psychic impressions in a room without touching
anything.

With her unique physiology, she’s over 80 years of age and
still gets carded at R-rated movies. Most of the time it’s flattering but it
can sometimes be a nuisance. For the most part, Josephine spends her days like
any other retirement community member. She plays cards with friends, attends
get-togethers, and occasionally visits the beach until she is called upon by
the police to investigate a crime scene left behind by a suspect with powers
equal to her own.

Now the race is on. Can an out-of-practice wizard marshal
her abilities and catch a menace before he becomes so powerful even she can’t
stop him?
